A slice of cake from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding is to be auctioned today in Nottingham.

Auctioneers Mellors and Kirk are expecting the slice of fruit cake to fetch between £50 and £150.

The cake is to be sold by former employee of Crown Speciality Packaging, Adrian Richardson, who was one of a small number of employees of the firm sent a piece of the royal wedding cake to thank them for their work on a specially commissioned presentation tin.

Nigel Kirk, director of Mellors and Kirk Auctioneers in Nottingham said: "It will no doubt be popular with collectors of royal memorabilia."
